With 2010 drawing to a close, I felt like making a list of my "Top 10 Movies of the Year" but as per usual, I have a hard time narrowing it down to 10 so here's a list of my (17) favourites of the past year! They're in random order but I have to say that my Top 3 would have to be The King's Speech, Downton Abbey and From Time to Time simply because I followed them with eager anticipation for sooo long and they surpassed my expectations! I've also included some favourite movies that aren't period dramas but they featured actors known for this genre or are adaptations of classics.

The King's SpeechLOVED this! Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush were a pure joy to watch! The film was a great animation of a moment in history shedding new light on events. Read my review here.

Downton AbbeyWhat can I say? There are 39 posts on my blog regarding Downton. Enough said!

From Time to TimeSweet film. Made me cry.Maggie Smith, Alex Etel & Hugh Bonneville are wonderful.

SéraphineThis film was one of the best I've seen in a long time. Captured me and didn't let go.I connected with it for personal reasons and was completely moved!

I haven't seen most of these, but I just found From Time To Time on YouTube, watched it yesterday and LOVED it! What an incredibly cool story with such wonderful actors and delicious period drama goodness! I hope to do a review of it soon!I do really want to see The King's Speech and Going Postal is also on my to-see list. Thanks for a great year of period dramas! This is one of my favorite places to come, it just feels like home! :)

Laurie and Ruth, makes me smile when I think of you seeing King's Speech! Thanks for your comments through the year!

Robbi, yes I did know about that one! The director has stated different release dates on facebook so still waiting for confirmation! http://enchantedserenityperiodfilms.blogspot.com/2010/04/witches-of-oz-2010.html
